Pensioners in Scotland will receive between £100 and £305 through a new devolved annual heating payment.
Scottish pensioners will receive a devolved Pension Age Winter Heating Payment (PAWHP) of £100 to £305, depending on age and income-related benefits, in addition to the reinstated Winter Fuel Payments. The qualifying period is the third week of September 2025, and Pension Credit claims made by mid-July may increase the payment amount. Pensioners will receive a letter from the DWP explaining the State Pension uprating and Pension Credit information.
